Not some carved in stone official list that has been sealed and notarized by some sort of imaginary Grand ...

A big part of the story involves a little boy. An eleven year old named Isaac who plays the saxophone and idolizes Sanborn.

Shakin' All Over: Popular Music and Disability George McKay 230 pages ISBN: #978-0-472-05209-7 University of Michigan Press 2013 Given the vast quantities written about popular music culture it is perhaps surprising that so little critical space has been given to disability and popular music. Despite this anomaly, author George McKay, Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Salford, argues that there exist identifiable and powerful links between popular music and the “damaged" ...
